100 gallon tank has some fairly substantial scratches. I'm sure they can be fixed or repaired. I need the space in my garage so I don't have the time to do it myself. It's got an internal overflow box. Would work great as a holding tank or show tank when fixed. The stand is in great shape...

Pretty soon all the inhabitants, lr and sand will be gone. The tank, stand and canopy need a new home. The tank is glass with 4 holes drilled at the top - great condition. I may be willing to help with transportation (depending on location), let me know.

I've got a 55 gal tank with fish, live rock and sand, and some inverts along with stand and canopy (with 4x65w power compacts). Basically, all of it must go. Here's what's there: fish- blue (Hippo,Regal) tang (small to medium sized yet), ocellaris clown, bi-color blenny, yellow watchman goby...

My qt tank has no fishes so I'm thinking about putting a mantis in there. Anyone looking to get rid of one?

I'm looking for ideas for an auto top-off. A DIY is possible, but the whole setup would be preferred. Any suggestions? Any places to research? Thanks

It's not an emergency (yet), but with the power going out around me today, I'm a little uneasy. My sump (and pump) is working well, but if the power goes out and then comes back on- my overflows (for the sump) don't immediately catch up with my pump- which leads to an overflow of the tank. In...

I just added a yellow watchman to my tank on Thursday. He took off for the lr immediately, which I expected. I also expected him to hide for a while, but I haven't seen any sign of him yet. Should I move things around to find him?

I was visiting my grandpa in southeastern Michigan and saw a long-time landscape and pond business that now had sw and fw fish. I thought I would check the place out and was shocked to see that the tanks were in a greenhouse. Everything in the tanks was covered with algae. He was selling lr...

Here's my 55 gallon tank and stand. I built the stand from scratch and learned a lot of things I would do differently the next time. The doors are different sizes on purpose (the sump is behind the right side and I had no reason to have a smaller door on the side I would use the most). I wish...

My yellow-tailed damsel started corner guarding today. He's been in the upper corner for nearly the entire day and won't move much. He's got a couple of scales that look loose, but other than that no one has been seen picking on him. Sometimes he warns others from coming too close, other times...

When I first got my bta (about 3-4 inches not spread out) 6 months ago, he went to the back of some lr and hung out. He looked ok and puffed up fairly big. That was when he was in my 25. He would eat pieces of silversides and my two ocellaris clowns hosted him. After I realized that the lfs...

I'm setting up a 55 gallon tank with a 25 gallon sump. The pump has about 4 feet or so straight up to pump the water. I'm going to split the return line to put water into two separate holes in the top corners of my tank. What type of pump should I use and what size? What's good flow rate for...

I'm looking to get my 55 gallon drilled on the side. Does anyone know of a good place to have it done in OC area?

Anyone have any ideas/plans for a canopy for a 55 gallnon? I saw Sparky's post on his 75. I'm sticking with flourescents and I would like doors that open to the sides. I'm still working on the stand, right now, so I"ve got a little time to get the canopy done. Thanks for any help!

Are there any inverts that will bother a featherduster? My lemonpeel or Regal Tang won't bother them, will they? I'm intrigued to get one or two, but I'll be upgrading in the next couple of weeks. Is it better to wait, or can I get them now?

Good addition first: (both came from a tank acquisition last Friday) Got a small rose anemone and put him in my nano. I put him towards the top in the front. Today I noticed that he had split! It almost looks like he wants to spilt again. This is good, I hope. Bad addition: I'm not sure if...

Is the lfs the best place to take a problem crab? I thought he was cool and stayed out of trouble, but now I'm getting some shells piled up by his hideaway. I'm not convinced he's to blame, though. I've seen the snails that fall over and not right themselves be the target of his aggression...

I just got an existing sump setup and was wondering about how it was put together. Basically, in order to get it apart and off the tank and sump, we had to cut the pvc at several places. In order to put it back together, I'll have to use couplers or replace several parts. Is there a way to...

I'm getting a bunch of live rock and will have a little too much for my 55 gallon tank. I've also got to do a little more setting up for my tank. Would it be sufficient to leave the lr in a tank without lights and just a ph for water circulation till I have everything ready? It might take a...

I've been noticing that Kevin is getting close to post #10000! Just wanted to say thanks for all the help that I've received. I'll also take this opportunity to thank everyone for all the help so far (especially also from Aaron) and I'm sure I'm going to need lots more to come. I'm really...

I'm setting up a 55 gallon tank as an upgrade to my 25. I'm basically starting from scratch and intend on having a sump. Would it be useful/beneficial to drill the hole into my 55 or just use an overflow box? What would be involved? I'm probably going to cut a slot into my stand which I have...

I'm upgrading my 25 gallon acrylic to a 60 gallon glass (not really tall, but taller than usual). I'm planning on looking to build my own stand and canopy so my setup time for the tank is not in a hurry. Hopefully I have enogh time to work on them so that I can save myself money. I have a few...

I realize that nothing will live forever in a tank, but I'm bummed about finding my cleaner shrimp dead. He was my favorite inhabitant in my tank. I also found my largest peppermint shrimp dead at the same time. If they are short-lived, there's nothing I can do, but they both looked fine...

I can't remember how much in pounds I actually have. I think I've got around 35 to 40 pounds. How much is too much? Does it look like I can add more to this tank? What kind is the best to add?

RR and FF, I like your photo reference announcement. Might I suggest a few others? How about different algaes and coraline growth. I see a lot of people asking about those. Thanks for all your guys' help.
